Kinetic trapping of 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)benzene and ZnI2 into M12L8 poly-[n]-catenanes using solution and solid-state processes

Abstract Here, we show that in a supramolecular system with more than 20 building blocks forming large icosahedral M 12 L 8 metal–organic cages (MOCs), using the instant synthesis method, it is possible to kinetically trap and control the formation of interlocking M 12 L 8 nanocages, giving rare M 1...
